    Really ? CC Was a eploiter, and enslaver.
    Read the actual history, don’t believe the myth of CC , and if you read what he wrought, it was immoral , racist.
    Making the excuse “it was the times”, doesn’t fly.
    It also exposes the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church.
    There were those who spoke against what the church funded, and supported. They were rebuffed. Sound familiar?

    He should never be epitomized, his behavior was despicable. And he never landed on “America” – Juan Ponce de Leon was the first to land here and he landed in Florida.
